Axiom of Dependent Choice

Statement

Let SS be a nonempty set, let N\mathbb{N} denote the natural numbers, and let RR be a binary relation on SS, that is, a subset of the Cartesian product S×SS\times S. Assume that for every x∈Sx\in S there exists y∈Sy\in S with (x,y)∈R(x,y)\in R. Let s∈Ss\in S.

Then there exists a sequence (am)m∈N(a_m)_{m\in\mathbb{N}} in SS such that a1=sa_1=s and (am,am+1)∈R(a_m,a_{m+1})\in R for every m∈Nm\in\mathbb{N}.
